Rain Gryphon

I had no idea that there existed man-made geysers. Quite attractive as well.

With all of the limestone that underlies West Trumpistan, we could probably sink a nuclear reactor for heat, and make geysers that form cool flowstone structures here too. Ours could even be radioactive!

Lynchburg is being evacuated in anticipation of a potential dam failure. While that's distressing, I'm satisfied to note that pets are going to be provided for in the evacuation centres. That's been a longstanding issue here, is the expectation of the authorities that people will just leave their pets behind. In the old days, when they didn't expect people to evacuate unless their lives were in actual danger, that may have worked. The modern practice seems to be to take no chances of any sort whatsoever, so if we're to accept having our lives disrupted on the offchance that someone might possibly get hurt, it seems sensible to have higher expectations of what the authorities will provide.

Dude with samurai sword attacks ice cream truck. Alcohol may have been involved. :)

Sad that the guy got shot, but there's a certain irony in that he had come to see "cowboy culture". For whatever reason, many Germans seem fascinated by cowboys and indians.

Oh yes! I need one of these!

McDonald's are on my shitlist again. There's no excuse for that sort of behaviour.
